Owners described to Andy deGruchy that they wanted to really cook in a fireplace. Andy designed a stone fireplace where circular seating could go around and a bake oven ''Dutch'' door was placed in the back with a pot crane installed in the firebox.

Outside, a small bake oven was installed with another ''Dutch'' oven door so that in the summer, the fire could be fed in from the outside. The entire masonry bake oven was built with a gas-jet system with controls set in the kitchen area so that the bake oven could be used conveniently with gas for fuel instead of wood when desired. Little openings are fresh air-intake, viewing ports and clean-out doors. Located in Walnutport, PA.

Dear Mr. deGruchy, The Governor Wolf Historical Society would like to thank you for your donation of bricks for the fireplace, and in addition, for donating your time and energy for installing them. We are most appreciative of your aid in our efforts to restore the McKeon House. Thanks so much. Rusty Herd, Corresponding Secretary

We are very pleased with the work Andy, Jeff, Tex, Charlie and all of the crew performed. The project was bid and executed as described. Everyone was pleasant. There was a lot of attention to details, and they all asked for our opinions whenever there were any questions to resolve.

I had over 20 different contractors on my job and deGruchy was the most reliable and customer-minded of all of them. Everyone from Andy to the helpers were polite and a pleasure to have around my project site and home. There is enough room on paper, but I would gladly talk to prospective customers of deGruchy.

DeGruchy Masonry has been involved in the restoration of the historic gravestones in our cemetery for the past 2 years. They have handled a variety of gravestones and we have been very pleased with the quality of their workmanship. We will continue to use them in further projects.

Working with your company was a great experience. Thanks to your cooperation, working with 3 separate entities worked well and all was finished on time and on budget. We love the look of our chimney thanks to your suggestions. We'd hire you again in a heartbeat! Thanks again!
